Brad Beal Announcement Tomorrow Morning at 10am Central Time

Brad Beal, the spectacular 6-3 shooting guard prospect (class of 2011) out of the St. Louis area is announcing where he will go to college tomorrow morning, and the college basketball world is waiting for the news. Sources indicate the leading schools are Kansas, Florida and Illinois, but there are no credible leaks out there yet. Kansas fans seem to think they will get Beal, but there is speculation Florida will come away with the sharpshooter instead. Not many are predicting Illinois, despite the school's close proximity to St. Louis and Coach Bruce Weber's reputation of developing guards for the NBA system. Of course, Brad Beal is so good, he could probably go straight to the NBA if that was allowed these days.
